As you can see I'm directing x to "/dev/input/mice". How can I be sure
my kernel is using /dev/input/mice for the usb mouse?


As root: cat /dev/input/mice

yes, the mouse is probably working properly.


cat: mice: no such device

What's the output of "lsmod"? Also, what kernel do you have ("uname -a")?
